A great review on an interesting rifle and oddly enough I have a space on my certificate for an FAC air rifle but neither of these guns makes the short list for me, particularly the FAC model. I’m a big fan of FAC air rifles and for decades I’ve have always had one in the gun cabinet but @ 50+” long and shooting 70ftlbs it doesn’t stand comparison with a regular .22rf. I’d much rather shoot a quality 30/40ftlb air rifle that fits the gap between a sub-12ftlb air rifle and a .22rf - and there are a lot of air rifles out there that fit the bill and are a lot more practical than something the size of a rowing oar. No criticism of Andy,l love and watch every episode but being primarily a hunter/pest controller I’m struggling to find something to get excited about when compared to the offerings of other big name manufacturers. Perhaps if lead is banned for the .22rf I’ll re-think things🤷♂️.

Apparently the reason the cocking lever was stiff to operate on the FAC version was because the enameling on the breech bloke was to thick which meant the breach seal was not seating properly , This problem has now been fixed . How do I know this , because I just ordered one and the supplier told me that this was the problem . Great video mate .
@@simonnoble7589Goodmorning! It is quite warm here, 13c. But dark grey and wet. Sun might be out this afternoon, but the wind will be too. No fun shooting in a 40mph wind...
A lot of modern cars look the same because of shared platforms/parts etc. The same seems true of "tactical" rifles and that gives a lot of choice. It becomes even more important to try before you buy so the NEC gun show is the place to go!
Hi Andy Can you have a look at the Zbroia Hortitsia Black MK3 PCP Air Rifle I think you will like it. I like this review looks a nice gun keep up the good work
Another great enthusiastic review. For me those dials look like a fault waiting to happen and they're positioned in a really odd way, cocking action looks a tad stiff, .22 fac I can't quite see the point of, just get a rimfire?
Hey there Andy, after watching your vids for ages (BTW Top work ! )... I've always fancied one of the tripods you use but have never found one online. Only just noticed the links listed !!! Got my order in finally !!!!
Morning Andy I can see you’re excited by these guns but for me I’m not a fan. I don’t like the styling personally, but that is a personal thing as you said. As for the FAC version, you could just use a .22 or .17 rim fire which would cost less and be considerably shorter.
@@uksnusreviews9455 yes but at 70ftlb you’d need to use slugs as pellets will go supersonic and lose accuracy. I can’t see the point of the FAC version of this rifle, if you want vermin control then a rim fire .22 would be much shorter and cheaper and you aren’t going to be burning through tons of ammo so the cost difference isn’t really an issue. For target shooting, why do you need the FAC version?
I think if you’ve got the cash it will be a fun gun to own,there’s just something special about big power air rifles even if they don’t do anything a 300£ Brno .22 can’t do 😊
Errrr back in 1986 I took my HW 80 to my local gun shop to have an ox mainspring fitted and according to them some polishing of the cylinder. Well after that it had the tendency to make that noise… yep I know it would have been dieseling and yes i know would have been slightly over powered. It’s funny that gun shop got its licence to sell FAC taken off them and now they only sell fishing and outdoor gear.
As a few have commented edgun springs to mind regards the straight pull.... But kalibrgun reputation proceeds them as does most eastern European manufacturers now
@7:10 So what about the Matador R5M and Lelya 2.0 then? :-) That quality and precision is what to expect from Kalibrgun but the price was a nice surprise! Not cheap but pretty good value for the money! Nice review as usual, big thumbs up!
When you were cocking the .22, 70 FP it didn’t look very smooth, this might have been because your hands were cold but it did seem to take some effort 🤔
Awesome, the problem I had with a FAC air rifle and slugs close to the one you tested was the trajectory. Perfect bull group zeroed at 40m; Fired at 30m hitting low, fired at 60m hitting high, at 80m hitting higher, at 100m same as 80m but left. At 120m? I had no idea where the slugs had gone. So back to the accurized Ruger 10/22, banana magazines, Winchester subsonic (before they were awful) or CCI Stinger hypersonic (perfection). And why exactly are CCI Stingers £250 per 1000 now? 25 years ago they were £40-50 per 1000! Cheers Andy, keep up the fantastic work.
wow looks the business Andy 👍. I've purchased from my local gun shop the Zbroia Hortitsia 300/ 200 177 calibre straight pull action its a fanatic air rife RACKNLOAD has review it. looking forward the the shooting show
Bench rest shooters using 22lr are happy to get sub 2moa at 100metres. That fac just put pellet on pellet at 70metres. I wonder if the fac version could shoot sub 2moa at 100metres possibly even 1moa
That FAC on was about the power of a .22 Short or a .25/6.35mm automatic pistol and the supersonic crack was really evident if it was in .30 it should be subsonic but probably still supersonic in .25?
looks good but i could see when you were cocking the rifle you two fingers looked really close to the magazine, could be a problem if you got big fingers! these seem to be like a few others, styled on the fx range ? keep up with the great shows .
I shoot from a resting position as this is the most stable position. this is because I am testing the guns accuracy rather than my ability, bringing consistency to the reviews. shooting from a standing position will purely show my ability and not the guns, and it’s not about me. stay safe.
They look like great rifles, but the FAC Snipe is too long. I can't imagine carrying that on a harness, while carrying a tripod etc around a field, without dragging the muzzle through the dirt. It'd have to be carried horizontally (which I prefer not to do for safety reasons) plus it would catch on everything.
I like the dovetail to picatinny bridge, been looking for something like that to customise a rifle for ages. The Webley Nemesis X PCP has one, does anyone know if these can be bought separately?
Does the rti priest and one of the Aea guns have straight pull? Why can't these manufacturers put gauges aligned properly also a fully shrouded barrel would look a lot better apart from that it's a ok gun, there's my can't over with 😁😁
Looks just like a FX dreamtac.
All these guns are starting to look the same now. Looking forward to the style of air rifles coming full circle and classic sporter style bolt action rifle's coming back into fashion.
there are many snowpeak m30 types out from many brands , even fx has one with the shroud as air cilinder
Still love my S400, beach sporter stock, bolt action and an absolute tac driver and it cost a third of the price of this.

@@kanehood3478 .i think the same .the win 70 or rem 700 are more my fav models .also in airguns
Only so many ways to re-invent the wheel.
That said have you seen tye new FX DRS Walnut?
I'm going to check those two out!! See you next Friday (23rd) at the shooting show.

I can see that FAC version winning a few air rifle long range competitions across the pond, very VERY easily!

How do I know this , because I just ordered one and the supplier told me that this was the problem . Great video mate .
Thanks Andy, great start to the weekend as always.
Kalibr guns are very underrated. CZ barrels are far better than FX barrels. Czech and slovakia make the best airguns now
Andy you said in your summing up that its a bullpup. Definitely isn't, certainly the 1.25m version is closer to a howitzer.
Good morning. Andy, another fabulously informative video.
Have a great weekend.

Morning from Manchester, UK!
Thank you for your time and effort put into these presentations, I look forward to them and I'm going to get into the sport.
Got my ticket for Sunday. Can't wait😁Looking forward to seeing you and VA then
Awesome review Andy fantastic keep up the amazing reviews
Interesting. I thought that price was low! That barrel length with the silencer was nearly at the target! Haha. Thanks as always.

Hi Andy Can you have a look at the Zbroia Hortitsia Black MK3 PCP Air Rifle I think you will like it. I like this review looks a nice gun keep up the good work
I love the durability of the tactical style. Nice review 👍
Is it possible to line the gauges up properly? They really annoy my OCD
Another great enthusiastic review. For me those dials look like a fault waiting to happen and they're positioned in a really odd way, cocking action looks a tad stiff, .22 fac I can't quite see the point of, just get a rimfire?
Didnt the RTI Priest2 have a straight pull?
That’s what I thought also
Yup I have the original Priest with straight pull.
Great review, as always.
Excellent review.thank you
Great review Andy. Very nice proper rifles mate! Thank you.😊
Like it. Like the straight pull. We have seen a few lever action pcp rifles, nut has there been any pump action, and if not, why not?
Hey there Andy, after watching your vids for ages (BTW Top work ! )... I've always fancied one of the tripods you use but have never found one online. Only just noticed the links listed !!! Got my order in finally !!!!
Morning Andy, Brilliant review
RTI had a straight pull bolt too

een fac airgun is not as restricted as a 22 or17 firearm in most countrys
Whilst I fully agree with you (it needs a license anyway so why not get a rimfire), it is very cool.
Ammunition for rimfire is hella more expensive than .22 pellets though

Accuracy of that 70 fpe cant really be bad when the muzzle is 2 feet away from the target lol
Briliant
👍🏴😁✌️
Going to try so of them at the BSS 👍
So enjoy the channel and I not an air rife shooter.
Just find it very interesting

About time we had a FAC HFT, now that would be fun.
Hey Andy, another brilliant update. Do u sell them aswell ?
As always another great review. Except if I was buying a mid range car I would at least expect the fuel gauge to be the right way up. Just saying lol.
EDgun might object to that claim of this Kalibrgun being the first air rifle to have a straight pull cocking action!
I'm not into tactical rifles but that is a beautiful piece of kit. Hopefully one day.
Zbroia did a straight pull bolt on a gun, good review though 👍
And EAE did on the challengr and SF, and RTI have, and Edgun has, And Logan, and Edgar Brothers
Those are great guns, especially the FAC I just need to get a licence!!
What a great review see you next Friday 👍
As a few have commented edgun springs to mind regards the straight pull.... But kalibrgun reputation proceeds them as does most eastern European manufacturers now
It looks a great gun I am add man myself but u would think that all these manufacturers could get all the clocks in same positions it can’t be had 👍
Logun S16 is a straight pull
Nice rifles. They look to be built like tanks.
Morning all
Like to see you concentrate on the FAC and show the accuracy with different pellets and slugs when the power is turned down to 900 approx.
@7:10 So what about the Matador R5M and Lelya 2.0 then? :-) That quality and precision is what to expect from Kalibrgun but the price was a nice surprise! Not cheap but pretty good value for the money! Nice review as usual, big thumbs up!
When you were cocking the .22, 70 FP it didn’t look very smooth, this might have been because your hands were cold but it did seem to take some effort 🤔
The magazine seems to be in the way of the straight pull cocking lever🤔probably ok if you’ve got small/thin fingers🙂
a super pest control cannon and a super video as always
Zbroia Hortitsia was straight pull, can be prone to metal fatigue, these are better built no doubt thought, as have a Cricket 2 T
Awesome, the problem I had with a FAC air rifle and slugs close to the one you tested was the trajectory.

Surely some manufacturer will be able to come up a better looking arrangement to get rid of the bulbous bottle! Which really puts me off!
I believe FX Airguns made their first straight pull back in 2003 launching the Cutlas.
Nice looking gun. Is the price of £1550.00 for the FAC or sub 12 gun?
I have the snowpeak m25 pcp 2.2 nice rifle also using gamo speedster 10x gen 2
Bench rest shooters using 22lr are happy to get sub 2moa at 100metres. That fac just put pellet on pellet at 70metres. I wonder if the fac version could shoot sub 2moa at 100metres possibly even 1moa
Andy looks more like Arni with FAC. Nice powerful gun
I wonder if Andy can get Fx impact 3 review
When you say “ straight out of the box “, did the gun shop clean the barrel ?
nope,
the priest/prophet had straight pull cocking. I have two Mk1 crickets and Kalibrgun id my favourite maker.
I was going to say the kalibrgun capybara also has a straight pull back 😊
Looks like there's not much room between the cocking lever (fully forward) and the protruding magazine. Did this feel uncomfortable at all?
Good Morning everybody and our host with the most Andy .... have a fantastic day
That FAC on was about the power of a .22 Short or a .25/6.35mm automatic pistol and the supersonic crack was really evident if it was in .30 it should be subsonic but probably still supersonic in .25?
So what if I filled the tank with some type of flammable gas, trigger ignition? Maybe dangerous 😊
Andy, do you think this rifle would be suitable for Uk HFT ? Maybe a Rowen single mag ?
Happy Friday everyone 🎉
nice one
Rti priest is also straightpull...and Im sure there ate others just can't remember which those are...
Just purchased some zan slugs Andy, do you know owt about them mate any feedback will be great
looks good but i could see when you were cocking the rifle you two fingers looked really close to the magazine, could be a problem if you got big fingers! these seem to be like a few others, styled on the fx range ? keep up with the great shows .
Andy can you do a review on the black opps sniper rifle please
How does this work with FAC air rifles, have you got this on your FAC or are you a RFD ?
Another excellent review!
I think the Gamo Arrow also has a straight pull
Andy, what barrel does the uk version use & would you buy one ?
Andy great vids, can the digital gages be changed to needle dial type?
Yes you can!
Great looking gun, completely lost interest when you introduced the digital gauge. Such a shame. Will stick with my Reign M2 and HW100BP.
Love it, great review 👍
Just curiosity does the spare cartridge fit in the bottom of the pistol grip
Thanks
Looking fantastic andy 😮❤❤👍🇬🇧
Weren't the old Falcons a strait pull lever?
is this FAC one you tested ?
Andy, any chance you can shoot standing in your reviews please.
I shoot from a resting position as this is the most stable position. this is because I am testing the guns accuracy rather than my ability, bringing consistency to the reviews. shooting from a standing position will purely show my ability and not the guns, and it’s not about me. stay safe.

It'd have to be carried horizontally (which I prefer not to do for safety reasons) plus it would catch on everything.
surely if you can tune it down you got to be able to crank it up?
It would look better with a fully shrouded barrel
Zbroia Hortitsia Mk1 has a straight pull bolt.
Not even sure that 'the big one' would fit into my shooting shed 😅
Would you prefer this or the epic 2 in the cabinet at home ?
Epic me
I like the dovetail to picatinny bridge, been looking for something like that to customise a rifle for ages. The Webley Nemesis X PCP has one, does anyone know if these can be bought separately?
Looks like your struggling with that bolt, doesn't look as smooth as I would expect.
Whether it's the magazine or the short throw it certainly isn't a smooth operation from this example.
Does the rti priest and one of the Aea guns have straight pull? Why can't these manufacturers put gauges aligned properly also a fully shrouded barrel would look a lot better apart from that it's a ok gun, there's my can't over with 😁😁
The fac version is ok , but unfortunately it's same size as a musket with a burnet fitted..
Edgun may have had a straight back lever can't remember model
A great gun and a great review. . Just a shame about the "ping" on every shot.
Have you ever tried a cross bow scope on an air gun?
why would you ?
